%N A386760 Numbers k such that the number of decimal digits of the Lucas number L(k) is greater than the number of decimal digits of the Fibonacci number F(k).
%C A386760 The difference in the number of decimal digits, A055642(L(k))-A055642(F(k)) = A060384(k)-A386758(k) is either zero or one. In fact, this difference is ceiling(beta-{k*alpha}), with alpha and beta as defined in the Formula section. This implies that, asymptotically, a fraction of beta=0.349485... of the Lucas numbers has one more decimal digit than the corresponding Fibonacci number. This gives the asymptotic behavior of the sequence as a(n)~n/beta. Conjecture: abs(a(n)-n/beta)<c, for some constant c.

%F A386760 The sequence consists of the integers k>=2, for which {k*alpha}<beta, where alpha=log_10(phi), beta=log_10(5)/2, {x}=x-floor(x), denotes the fractional part of x, log_10(phi) = A097348, and phi = (1+sqrt(5))/2 = A001622.
%e A386760 5 is a term since F(5)=5 has length 1 decimal digit, but L(5)=11 has length 2 decimal digits which is greater.
